loving life because

• i can now say that i have traveled in a car at more than 100 MPH. in fact is was more than 125 MPH. And i thought i was going to die. Funny thing is, Greg, (Melissa's friend who's now all of our friend) passed a police officer right when we got back down to the normal speed limit. He thinks it's hilarious to scare us. I can only handle driving with him once a month i've decided. my poor heart.

• We went the entire year (again) at the spectrum with ZERO loses. :D that's right. It's good to be an Aggie. 4 years WAC champions.

• But even better was that i got to meet (and he touched me :D) Matthew Formisano. It was MORE than a big deal. I've been drooling over him all season. and good news number two! i got a picture with him. It's fine, he's like 18 inches taller than me. i told my mom this and this was her reply, "well at least you could check for lint in his belly button." thanks mom, way to be positive there. :D if only he knew how much i loved him. :'(

• I finally got all my mat board for the semester. It's only like 3 dollars every picture. There's something about the photo department thinking i am rich or something. News flash, because of you i'm not even close to it!
• I got ash's wedding announcement in the mail today.

• i finished another wedding announcement file today. I can whip those bad boys out like it's nobodies business!
• Anna get's married this week and i get to do some temple pictures for her!
• I get to go home on saturday!!
• and get to hang out with Taylor again! woot! Probably one of the funnest guys i know. :D
• In exactly 1 week i will be in California. and going to the beach, and to the Price is Right, and to Hollywood, and to the Getty Museum of Art. and staying in Beverly Hills. :D it will be a party in California.
• Taco tuesday is. TONIGHT! wooohooo! i just love taco tuesday! :D
• I'm taking ash's bridals at this place. isn't it awesome!!!?! (jealous much) i would be if i were you.

• My painting class was canceled all but an hour on thursday.

and drawing 2 was completely canceled! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Cannot even explain to you how exciting this is to me.

My name is Brianna and I'm just kinda feelin good about life right now. :D

day four- coulee to seattle

So we went and ate at the R&A Cafe for breakfast in coulee dam. i was there ALL the time in grade school! Karah's (my BFFFFFF from gradeschool) parent's owns it and we would go and sit in the big freezer in the summer time to cool down. I miss those carefree days. Food is excellente though.

and then we left coulee and headed to seattle. we got to bellevue and went to the seattle temple there. it was really pretty too!

We checked into our hotel room

see.... we DID pack light!

and then we went to the boardwalk in downtown seattle!! o my heck i love seattle. we played owl city's hello seattle as soon as we saw the city. and we went to several places downtown like pioneer square where a guy tried to hit on us. (what the heck? seriously, do we really look like that the kind of girls?) and even to the local radio shack because Jane died on us. (the GPS)

after this we went to alki beach!! it was so so sosososo! cool!
seriously! i love the ocean!

we also saw a lighthouse there too!

and then we went to bed.

Senior trip day two-Missoula to Spokane to Coulee dam WA

I was a fan of montana but i was overly excited to go home (that is Coulee dam washington!) You can't even realize how happy i was! i seriously got teary eyed driving down the dam hill. It brought back so many memories!
But first we went to spokane and used the restrooms at the Davenport hotel! (2nd best hotel in the US and 5th best in the world!) It was so so so cool!! I forgot to mention sara giving us a lesson in italian opera by playing it non stop for THREE SONGS!! she lost her privilege of choosing songs. It was unanimous (minus her of course)

and we looked around and took ourselves on a self guided (and possibly not allowed) tour..... It was a grand place!
o also i accidentally slammed betsy's fingers in the car door.... :( sorry betsy!

then we went to RIVERFRONT PARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my childhood!!! we rode another carousel and my horse didn't even have a name this time!! for real!??? what kind of carousel are you running!?

Then we played on the biggest red wagon ever built! :D Jealous? i bet you are!

Then we went around the park and played with ducks (and tried dodging goose poop) and also ate our lunch.

Then we filed up with gas and we saw a morgan freeman look a like! heck, it was him! "we're so blessed." ha ha!
ON TO THE COULEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is my excited face

COULEEEE!! i love youuuuu!!! I was freaking out the entire two hour drive from spokane!
we went to spring canyon and swam!



and my friend charlie came too!!!!! the only other lDS kid my age that lived there when i did. (charlie may i see your back?! ahah!)



we jumped off the dock lots and

and played bad Minton too.


Then after our fill of the beach we went to the siam palace for dinner! yummy!! Best food in town! Grandma and grandpa came to that with us. :D

Then we got a tour of the town from charlie and went to several parks and places i never went to when i lived there! it was crazy! I lived there for 6 years and i could hardly believe i had never gone to them!






Then we went home to our trailer :D and hit the sack (after getting all the sand off of us from the beach.)
oh, p.s. we had a theme song for our trip that we played once an hour: "Your Love is my drug" I'm not really sure why we chose that one but that doesn't really matter. It just matters that we played it at least 24 times a day. ha ha! it was the best!
